The Seafoam Drift Scarf was made for my mom for the holidays. She loves it! It’s a crocheted scarf in an open mesh pattern with a fringe added on. I’m toying with the idea of posting up the pattern for this. The open mesh pattern is really easy to do and it works up fairly quickly, because of all the open space. It took ~6 hours and it is about 5’5″ long.

Pattern: None used
Materials: Bernat Satin Sport in Jade
Length: ~5’5″ (without fringe)

The entire scarf, the fringe is actually even (it looks a bit uneven in this photo, probably because I didn’t arrange it very well on the carpet).

I showed you my first progress photo in my last entry (Sweater Progress – Part 1). Here is Part 2 & the completed Blythe sweater!

I used size 2 needles, grey acrylic yarn and the Sleeves a Go Go Sweater pattern.

Here is all the completed pieces (1 front, 2 sleeves, 2 back halves). This is from this morning at around 2am.

All the pieces sewn together and flipped back the right way. The ends are from the back pieces (I haven’t sewn in metal snaps yet in the back):

And then here’s the completed (sans snaps) sweater on Sophie, my Blythe doll. Her hat is crocheted in worsted weight cream wool that has small light brown and light grey flecks in it.
